One day, in the fall of 1610, Katrine is sent out into their village to collect some flour, setting in motion a chain of events that would turn her world upside down. Tearing her away from her mother, three witches bring forth Katrine's true nature and uncover a secret hidden from her family for generations. Discovering she descends from a bloodline seeped in intrigue, Katrine fights to survive the deadly urges handed down from her grandmother, Countess Elizabeth (Erzsebet) Bathory.
